Under the slightly puzzled gazes of the guards, the Star Sword quietly appeared in her delicate hand.
She glanced back and her gaze locked precisely on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master in the group.
The support Soul Master understood immediately, chanted incantations, and applied five amplification Soul Skills to Dongfang Yao.
Feeling the surging soul power within her body, the girl condensed it, and the third soul ring that coiled around her suddenly shone with purple light.
'Tang San, I don't know why my brother is targeting you like this.'
'But if we let you grow stronger, you will surely become an obstacle in your brother's path!'
The guards in the shadows heard a sharp "whoosh!" as they cut through the air.
Dongfang Yao instantly transformed into a golden streak of light that tore through the air, disappearing from their sight.
On the other side, Tang San was already at his limit, his soul power almost exhausted.
Just as the human-faced spider lowered its guard, thinking it had successfully captured its prey.
The moment his vulnerable lower abdomen was completely exposed as he lunged forward to bite!
Tang San's eyes sharpened as his soul power surged into his left arm.
He planned to use the small hammer to smash the human-faced spider away, and then shoot the Zhuge Crossbow to kill it in one shot!
But just as he channeled his soul power, intending to unleash the Clear Sky Hammer...
Behind the human-faced spider, a blinding golden light suddenly shone!
A seven-foot-long light sword, imbued with the power of stars, descended with a devastating force capable of slicing through anything!
"Clang! Crack!"
Dongfang Yao's third soul skill, "Starry Sky Rift Slash," slammed into the Demon Spider's hard, metallic-looking carapace!
The lightsaber rubbed violently against the armor, sending up a string of blinding sparks. The greatsword was momentarily stopped by the terrifying hardness of the armor!
But then came an overwhelming and crushing defeat!
A tearing sound rang out, like a hot knife cutting through butter.
The spider's enormous body split in two with a snap!
The two halves of the body crashed to the ground with a thud, raising a cloud of dust.
The eight severed spider legs were still twitching slightly due to nerve reflexes, and venomous purple blood gushed out, staining the surrounding land.
Dongfang Yao was slightly out of breath, her chest heaving, and the bulging veins on her hands, which were gripping the sword hilt tightly, slowly subsided.
She poured nearly 80% of her soul power into this sword strike, just to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Although I am a little tired.
The result was acceptable.
Hehe ~
Goal achieved!
A barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of her lips.
"Tang San, are you alright?" Dongfang Yao immediately adopted a concerned and anxious expression, her gaze quickly scanning his slightly disheveled appearance.
Tang San ignored him, his gaze fixed on the spider's corpse, which had been split in two on the ground.
And above the corpse floated a deep, alluring, yet untouchable purple soul ring.
The light of that spirit ring was incredibly dazzling in his eyes at that moment.
A surge of pent-up anger rushed to his throat, and he, whose internal organs were already injured, could no longer suppress it.
He coughed up a mouthful of dark red stagnant blood.
His violent coughing caused his body to hunch slightly.
"You!" He looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief and anger, his trembling finger pointing directly at Dongfang Yao.
The girl's face was filled with innocence and panic, her eyes crystal clear: "I...I was worried something would happen to you! In a moment of panic, I used all my strength. Did I...do something wrong?"
His voice carried just the right amount of self-reproach and a hint of grievance.
Tang San felt an inexplicable anger rush to his head, his face instantly turning a deep liver color, and the veins on his neck bulging.
Don't you know in your heart whether you did something wrong or not?
However, the other party was "worried about their own safety" which is why they "helped with all their might".
Tang San's chest heaved violently. He thought and thought, but he just couldn't find a reason to rebuke the other party with a clear conscience.
finally,
He could only manage to squeeze out two words through his clenched teeth: "Thank you."
Hey~ See that? They should thank us!
Dongfang Yao chuckled inwardly, but her face remained sincere: "You're welcome! I'll definitely help you find a more suitable soul beast later. Look at this Human-Faced Demon Spider, it's already two thousand years old. If you forcibly absorb it, wouldn't you explode and die!"
Upon hearing this, Tang San suppressed his anger and carefully examined the corpse on the ground.
I hadn't had a chance to look closely during the intense fight, but now that I'm taking a closer look, the length of these spider legs is indeed far beyond what I expected.
However, he firmly believed in his heart.
With the wondrous power of the Mysterious Heaven Skill and his own unwavering will, he will surely be able to withstand the impact of this soul ring that exceeds the limit of years!
Unfortunately, the soul beast is dead, the soul ring is dissipating, and everything is already set in stone.
He could only watch helplessly as the precious purple halo gradually dimmed and dissipated, his eyes filled with regret and resentment.
"No!" Tang San suddenly realized that this was not the time to regret his spirit ring!
Xiao Wu!
He instinctively reached out, wanting to grab Dongfang Yao's shoulders and shake her to press her for answers.
However, the girl reacted faster, deftly taking half a step back.
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, her eyes filled with disdain: "Just talk, why are you getting physical?"
Tang San had no time for such details at that moment, and urgently asked, "Dongfang Yao! Why are you alone? Where's Xiao Wu? How is Xiao Wu?"
"Calm down!" Dongfang Yao immediately stopped him, her tone resolute. "Xiao Wu is fine! She's safe! She's not injured!"
Hearing this unequivocal guarantee, Tang San breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed slightly.
But a question immediately arose in his mind: "Where is she? Why didn't she come back with you?"
Dongfang Yao quickly and eloquently delivered her prepared explanation, recounting how the Titan Giant Ape Erming knew Dongfang Jing, and so on.
"I don't know why the Titan Giant Ape captured Xiao Wu, but I swear on my martial soul that she will never be harmed."
Hearing Dongfang Yao's confident words, Tang San finally calmed down a bit and stopped acting like a headless fly.
"But why would a 100,000-year-old soul beast specifically target Xiao Wu? This is too strange."
Before they could finish speaking, a sharp, shrill cry from a young girl, filled with shock and anger, reached their ears.
"No—! Grandpa! My Demon Spider!!"
Chapter 156 Tang San was furious with Dongfang Yao, and Meng Yiran, the Dragon Lord of Shu, arrived. Tang San was powerless and enraged!
Three figures emerged from the forest, two of whom looked quite familiar: Snake Granny and Meng Yiran.
The third person beside them was an elderly man who was tall and thin with white hair and a four-meter-long, bright silver dragon-head cane.
The old man was surrounded by eight soul rings—two yellow, three purple, and three black—that pulsed rhythmically up and down.
This person was none other than Long Gong Meng Shu.
The one who exclaimed in surprise was Meng Yiran, the granddaughter of the Dragon King.
"You...it's you again!"
Meng Yiran's eyes reddened as she glared at the two men. Without even thinking, she knew it was their doing!
Upon seeing this, especially after seeing Dongfang Yao, the Snake Woman frowned and whispered a few words in the Dragon Lord's ear.
The girl stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "We meet again, Senior Snake Granny. This extraordinary senior must be the renowned Dragon Lord, right? I am Dongfang Yao, and I have long admired your name. It is my great honor to meet you today."
The moment the words fell,
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School guards, who had been lurking in the shadows, no longer concealed themselves and deliberately let out a trace of their aura that would be noticed by the Dragon Lord and Snake Lady.
Dragon Lord learned the girl's identity from Snake Granny and sensed that there were many hidden guards nearby, including two Soul Saints!
His complexion wasn't very good.
They had their chosen spirit beasts snatched away twice; if it had been someone else, they would definitely have demanded an explanation.
However, the other party's background was too powerful, and they really didn't dare to offend them easily.
Even with a lot of dissatisfaction, one can only swallow one's pride and bear it.
But on the surface, the imposing manner cannot be diminished.
Meng Shu said in a deep voice, "As expected of Sword Douluo's disciple, he has already cultivated to the Soul Master level at such a young age! To be honest, we have been chasing this human-faced demon spider for a whole day. If it weren't for its web being too difficult to deal with, it would have already become my granddaughter Yiran's soul ring."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yao was quite displeased.
What's with this old man's babbling on and on?
It's clearly your own incompetence that caused this. Even with the combined efforts of a Soul Douluo and a Soul Emperor, you couldn't even capture a thousand-year-old Soul Beast.
Although she was internally criticizing the other person, she didn't show it on her face.
The girl gave a wry smile and explained, "I understand what you're saying, but this human-faced spider suddenly appeared and attacked us. I had no choice but to use some tricks to protect myself."
The group looked down at the ground again, at the human-faced spider that had been neatly split in two.
Is this what you call a petty trick?
Dongfang Yao didn't care what they thought.
Having failed to protect his prey twice, he should reflect on his own incompetence.
Stop trying to pin the blame on me!
